1 Corinthians 14:18
I give praise to God that I am able to make use of tongues more than you all:

--------------------

1 Corinthians 14:14
For if I make use of tongues in my prayers, my spirit makes the prayer, but not my mind.

1 Corinthians 14:15
What then? let my prayer be from the spirit, and equally from the mind; let my song be from the spirit, and equally from mind.

1 Corinthians 14:16
For if you give a blessing with the spirit, how will the man who has no knowledge say, So be it, after your prayer, seeing that he has not taken in what you are saying?

1 Corinthians 14:17
For your giving of the blessing is certainly well done, but of no profit to the man without knowledge.

1 Corinthians 14:18
I give praise to God that I am able to make use of tongues more than you all:

1 Corinthians 14:19
But in the church it would be better for me to make use of five words of which the sense was clear, so that others might have profit, than ten thousand words in a strange tongue.

Acts 19:6
And when Paul had put his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came on them; and they had the power of talking in tongues, and acting like prophets.

Acts 2:4
And they were all full of the Holy Spirit, and were talking in different languages, as the Spirit gave them power.

Acts 10:46
And they were talking in tongues, and giving glory to God. Then Peter said,

1 Corinthians 12:10
And to another the power of working wonders; and to another the prophet's word; and to another the power of testing spirits; to another different sorts of tongues; and to another the power of making clear the sense of the tongues:

1 Corinthians 12:28
And God has put some in the church, first, Apostles; second, prophets; third, teachers; then those with wonder-working powers, then those with the power of taking away disease, helpers, wise guides, users of strange tongues.

1 Corinthians 12:30
Are all able to take away disease? have all the power of tongues? are all able to give their sense?

1 Corinthians 13:1
If I make use of the tongues of men and of angels, and have not love, I am like sounding brass, or a loud-tongued bell.

-----

1 Corinthians 14:2
For he who makes use of tongues is not talking to men but to God; because no one has the sense of what he is saying; but in the Spirit he is talking of secret things.

1 Corinthians 14:3
But the word of the prophet gives men knowledge and comfort and strength.

1 Corinthians 14:4
He who makes use of tongues may do good to himself; but he who gives the prophet's word does good to the church.

1 Corinthians 14:5
Now though it is my desire for you all to have the power of tongues, it would give me more pleasure to be hearing the prophet's word from you; for this is a greater thing than using tongues, if the sense is not given at the same time, for the good of the church.

1 Corinthians 14:6
But, now, my brothers, if I come to you using tongues, what profit will it be to you, if I do not give you a revelation, or knowledge, or the word of the prophet, or teaching?

1 Corinthians 14:21
In the law it is said, By men of other tongues and by strange lips will my words come to this people; and not even so will they give ear to me, says the Lord.

1 Corinthians 14:22
For this reason tongues are for a sign, not to those who have faith, but to those who have not: but the prophet's word is for those who have faith, and not for the rest who have not.

1 Corinthians 14:23
If, then, the church has come together, and all are using tongues, and there come in men without knowledge or faith, will they not say that you are unbalanced?

-----

1 Corinthians 1:4
I give praise to my God for you at all times, because of the grace of God which has been given to you in Christ Jesus;

1 Corinthians 1:5
So that in him you have wealth in all things, in word and in knowledge of every sort;

1 Corinthians 1:6
Even as the witness of the Christ has been made certain among you:

-----

2 Corinthians 6:6
In a clean heart, in knowledge, in long waiting, in being kind, in the Holy Spirit, in true love,

-----

2 Corinthians 12:1
As it is necessary for me to take glory to myself, though it is not a good thing, I will come to visions and revelations of the Lord.

-----

1 Thessalonians 5:18
In everything give praise: for this is the purpose of God in Christ Jesus for you.
